what is bio-power?


Bonjour!


I'm looking for a good conceptual definition of the FOUCAULT's concept of
biopower. Any Idea? A chapter or a book on this subject? A paper somewhere?

I've read _Surveiller et Punir_ , the complete _Dits et Ecrits_, and the
DELEUZE's _Foucault_, but I did'nt found something enough precise. The worst
is, that many definitions are in contradiction!

I need this definition for a paper about the "Global Governance" discourse
and the Biopower, and I'd be really gratefull if you can help me.


Au plaisir!
